Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Sat, having drinks, awkward silence

How I'm gonna make her see?

Looking for a sign, she gives me eyelids

Now this ain't the place for me

I've been down roads like this before

Guess I probably shoulda used my Sat-Nav now

No, she gonna end up at my door

In my bed, on the floor, her glad rags, yeah!

Left the cinema I said it's too violent

Maybe how they act reminds us of times behind us

Nothing else can keep us, finders keepers at first

Need to keep the kindness

Been a weak of tiredness

We fake the niceness, repeat the cycle

Thought we'd never grow old, but our Summer turned cold

Let me show you how to love and we can fix the climate

When the lights go out

Come and hunt me down

Keep me in your line of sight (I'ma do it like this)

Be my predator, I'll give in to ya

Take a taste, do what you like

Show me how to love, ya

Show me how to get you high

Show me how to love, ya

I just wanna rock you right

Let me show you how to love

Sat having drinks, awkward silence

Now you wanna make me see

If you're looking for a sign I'll make it priceless

And everywhere you want to be

I've been down roads like this before

Guess I probably shoulda used my Sat-Nav

I know I'm gonna end up at your door

In your bed, on the floor (you know)

We take a walk, I'm in awe of your fineness

I'm a king now, call me Your highness

In the circle of life I will make you my lioness

Pops woulda said you're a timeless beauty

This girl suits me

Even through the dark times, say resolutely

Hope we never grow old, if the summer turns cold

Let me show you how to love and we can fix the climate

When the lights go out

Come on hunt me down

Keep me in your line of sight

Be my predator, I'll give in to ya

Take a taste, do what you like

Show me how to love, ya (let's go)

Show me how to get you high (yo, I wanna get you high)

Show me how to love, ya

I just wanna rock you right

(Let me show you how to love)

Show me how to love

Let me, let me, let me show you how to

Let me show you how to love

Let me, let me, let me show you how to

Let me show you how to love

Show me how to love

Let me, let me, let me show you how to

Let me show you how to love

Let me, let me, let me show you how to

Let me show you how to love

Tonight (what you gonna do?)

I want you to know my name

I won't hide

If it's you that pulls me in (here we go, here we go, here we go)

When the lights go out

Come and hunt me down

Keep me in your line of sight

Be my predator, I'll give in to ya

Take a taste, do what you like (let's go)

Show me how to love, ya

Show me how to get you high

Show me how to love, ya

I just wanna rock you right

Show me how to love, ya

Let me, let me, let me show you how to

Let me show you how to love

Let me, let me, let me show you how to

Let me show you how to love

Show me how to love, ya (let me, let me, let me show you how to)

(Let me show you how to love)

I just wanna rock you right (Let me, let me, let me show you how to)

Let me show you how to love
